Start of Bernd Lenz Elektroentwicklung

Lenz -Elektronik GmbH. When Bernd Lenz founded "Bernd Lenz Elektronikentwicklung" in 1979, the idea of a digital model train control system was still a long way off. Five years later, in 1984, Lenz Elektronik GmbH was founded in Giessen, which in the following years played a leading role in the development and production of numerous digital components for model railway companies. In addition to decoders, Lenz also offers a large portfolio of diesel locomotives, electric locomotives and railcars in 0 scale.

Lenz sets milestones in digital development

In 1991, Lenz introduced the "Digital plus" innovation and presented the first locomotive decoder. A decisive step in the history of model railroads was the standardization of the Lenz digital system by the NMRA (National Model Railroad Association) in 1993. This marked the beginning of the worldwide DCC format (Digital Command Control), which is the most widely used digital system today. Within a decade, the Lenz Digital plus control system became the standard for digital multi-train control and opened up new possibilities for model railroaders worldwide.

H0 and gauge 0 models from Lenz

In 2002, Lenz launched the V 36, the first H0 locomotive of the model plus brand, followed by other models such as the BR 66 and various versions of the Köf. A current model is the V 20 Era 3 DB diesel locomotive, which can be operated on both conventional (analog) and digitally controlled layouts. On a scale of 1:45, Lenz Elektronik offers a comprehensive range of track systems and railcars in 0 gauge, which are based on models from the German Federal Railways. The models are characterized by a true-to-original appearance, high-quality technology and state-of-the-art production methods. Lenz is regarded as the market leader for 0-gauge model railroads in Germany.

Lenz locomotive decoders and their innovative technologies

Lenz Elektronik laid the foundation for the worldwide DCC standard and developed pioneering technologies such as ABC (Automatic Braking Control) for precise stopping in front of signals, the intelligent USP circuit (Uninterruptible Signal Processing) and RailCom for bidirectional information exchange. The locomotive decoders are available in different categories: Standard, SILVER and GOLD. The SILVER mini+ is the compact version of the SILVER decoder and also offers outstanding features for small gauges such as N gauge.
